Update: The server upgrade is finished!

On Tuesday, Jan 31st, all the Pearl servers will experience downtime during an operating system upgrade. The system upgrade will allow us to continue updating software with bug and performance fixes. Measures are being taken to ensure all server data will be preserved, including remote backups, so everything will be where you left it when the servers are brought back up.

I cannot provide a precise estimate of how long the servers will be down. Making final backups and working through the main upgrade steps will take less than an hour, but verifying everything works afterwards depends on how much software needs manual adjustments.

 

What Dragoness means to say is she is trying to protect the server from the folly of cyberdrifter, I can break a server like the best of them.
